California proposition 65

Understanding compliance with proposition 65 for companies that sell products in California

Proposition 65 requires that companies issue warnings to California residents about significant exposures to chemicals identified by the State as cause of cancer and/or reproductive damage.If you sell products in the state of California, you can be affected in the following three cases:

1. Their products do not contain substances of the current proposition 65.
2. Their products contain substances from the current list of proposition 65 (https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals), but are within a "safe port" limit (https://oehha.ca.gov/prosition-65/general-info/current-proposed-65-no-significant-risk-levels-nsrls-maximum) or the level of anticipated exposure will not represent a significant risk of cancer or reproductive damage according to OEHHA regulations, available in theArticle 7and theArticle 8of Title 27, California Regulations Code.
3. Their products contain substances from the current list of proposition 65 (https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals) above a "safe port" limit, and warnings are required to California residents about significant exposures to chemicals identified by the State as causes of cancer and/or reproductive damage.

If the products are above the levels of non -significant risk (NSRLS) and maximum allowed dose (MADLS) levels, they must carry a warning.

A sample warning is seen as follows:
